Hope for luck

Chapter 126 Accidental Discovery
Hearing Gao Pan say that if Mrs. Gao passed away, Gao Qibai's face instantly became a little solemn:
"What are you talking about? The old man is very strong. How could he pass away? This is all nonsense you can say as a grandchild? Be careful if the old man knows, he will beat you!"

Seeing this, Gao Pan still didn't feel afraid or worried, but said softly:
"Birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. Throughout the ages, no one can escape. Now, my grandfather has passed his sixtieth year, and he will pass away one day. It can't be said, can it?"

After hearing this, Gao Qibai glared at Gao Pan, Gao Pan was right, it was indeed a fact, but Gao Qibai's mentality of being a son of man naturally hoped that his father would live a long life and enjoy all the glory and wealth.

"Even if grandfather lived to be a hundred years old, what about after that? At that time, wouldn't the Gao family be at the mercy of others?"

Gao Pan seemed to have guessed Gao Qibai's thoughts, and then said something.

After saying this, Gao Qibai was stunned, thinking that among the descendants of the Gao family, there was really no outstanding one.

Once Mrs. Gao passed away, the decline of the Gao family was predictable. The only way to maintain the honorable family was to force the younger generation to work hard by the emperor's side.

But when he thought that he had been wasted for more than ten years and still failed to go to high school, Gao Qibai felt a little discouraged. If he only relied on himself, he might even have problems with food and clothing.

Thinking of this, Gao Qibai could only sigh lightly, and said no more.

Seeing this, Gao Pan felt a little emotional in his heart. The decline of a feudal family like the Gao family is inevitable. Unless the descendants can continue to be strong and become princes and ministers, it will be difficult to restore the decline.

Previously, Gao Pan learned that the Gao family has been passed down for five generations, the old man Gao is the third generation, and the eldest son of the three generations of the Gao family are all the princes of the country. trust.

Although Mrs. Gao's generation has no power or position, but the title of duke alone has already made many powerful people sigh.

However, if Mrs. Gao passed away, the descendants of the Gao family could not continue to gain the trust or value of the emperor. It is also predictable that the Gao family will fade out of the circle of powerful and powerful people.

"Throughout the ages, I don't know how many people are like Gao's family. Fourth uncle don't need to underestimate himself. You can't tell. In Chunwei, you will be in high school, and you will be valued by the emperor. If you enter the cabinet to pay homage, won't you keep the lintel of Gao's family?"

After a long time, Gao Pan saw that Gao Qibai seemed to be in a daze, so he couldn't help saying "poisonous chicken soup".

Hearing this, Gao Qibai came to his senses, waved his hands, and said with a wry smile:
"How do you know the hardships of the examination room, kid? Since I was 24 years old in Chengtian Mansion and now I am 35 years old, I have participated in a total of four examinations. Without exception, I have failed!"

After Gao Pan heard it, he was also a little bit embarrassed. No wonder the middle-level Jinshi is Guangzong Yaozu. It is really too difficult. He sighed softly:
"Since that's the case, why is Fourth Uncle so persistent? It's easy for Eldest Uncle to let Eldest Uncle go and make you a county magistrate!"

Gao Qibai shook his head resolutely:
"Officials with non-graduate backgrounds will find it very difficult to get promoted in the future. Besides, I have no intention of officialdom at all. I just want to prove my talent!"

Hearing these very stubborn and ridiculous words, Gao Pan was a little touched. At such an age, Gao Qibai still has not married a wife and started a family. In this era, it is simply unbelievable.

What's more, Gao Qibai is still the master of the Duke's Mansion, no matter what, the girls from various families can be said to be up to him.

Thinking of this, Gao Pan once again felt that Mrs. Gao didn't value his other sons too much, Gao Qibai was so wasted, and he didn't even care about it. This made Gao Pan feel even more disdainful in his heart.

"Fourth uncle, according to me, it's my grandfather who is eccentric. He gives priority to the eldest and second wife in everything. He doesn't care about our other three children who have children and grandchildren!"

Hearing Gao Pan's words, Gao Qibai's face suddenly turned a little red, thinking of defending a few words, then shook his head, got up and said:
"Some things are not what you seem to be... I should go too. If he still dares to come, just come and tell me!"

After saying that, he walked away from the east courtyard, Gao Pan sent him out of the courtyard gate, and then turned back.

He happened to see Peng Ming and Yang Mingchun looking at him eagerly.

"I just asked you to call people. Are you afraid that you will call everyone in the mansion? Haha, but you did a good job!"

Gao Pan said with a light smile.

"Master, the second young master is so domineering, I think he will definitely not let it go, the young master has to think about how to prevent it!"

At this moment, Peng Ming said sternly like an adult, and he no longer called Gao Pan his big brother.

After hearing this, Gao Pan hesitated for a moment, looked at Peng Ming with wide eyes, and then said relaxedly:
"Don't worry, I guarantee that nothing will happen to your sister. If I can't protect you, then what's the use of staying in this mansion!"

Hearing this, Peng Ming's face immediately became a little relaxed. It seemed that he had just held his breath.

Seeing this, Gao Pan ignored him, but told Yang Mingchun to keep an eye on Gao Nan, no matter what he did or who he met, he had to report in detail.

Yang Mingchun accepted the task respectfully and walked out of the east courtyard.

Then, Gao Pan suddenly thought of something, and motioned Peng Ming to follow him into the main room of the main courtyard.

After asking Peng Lanshu to come in and close the door, Gao Pan looked at the faces of Peng Lanshu and Peng Ming.

After a rough look, he couldn't find anything at all, but after a closer look, Gao Pan found that Peng Ming looked a bit like Gao Qiyuan!
In order to confirm that he was not mistaken, Gao Pan looked at Peng Ming carefully again, and then he was sure of his thoughts.

Seeing this, Peng Ming and Peng Lanshu were very puzzled, not understanding what Gao Pan meant.

"Do you still remember what your father looked like?" Gao Pan asked suddenly.

Peng Ming didn't even think about it, so he just shook his head, indicating that he couldn't remember anything, while Peng Lanshu frowned and began to think.

After a while, Peng Lanshu answered irrelevantly and said:

"Young master, in fact, the second young master, the servants should have seen it too. I remember, I still called him brother. It was when I was very young, but I can't be sure, it's just a vague feeling!"

Hearing this, Gao Pan's heart moved. Combining his own cognition in the past two days and Peng Ming's appearance, Gao Pan guessed an absurd but possibly true truth.

"Then your mother, did you mention your father to you? Also, did you leave any important tokens?" Gao Pan asked nervously.

"Yes, my mother left us half a jade pendant before she was alive. She said it was very important, so don't show it to others easily. However, the young master is naturally not an outsider, so I'll go and show it to the young master!"

Speaking of the token, Peng Lanshu thought of something instantly, and quickly replied.
